Tour of Mount Pallay Punchu - from Cusco

Your adventure begins with pickup at your hotel at approximately 4:00 a.m., followed by a 1-hour-and-40-minute drive to the town of Cusipata, where we’ll enjoy a hearty breakfast buffet. Afterward, we’ll continue the journey by bus for 2 hours to the bus station at the majestic Pallay Punchu. Upon arrival, our expert guide will give a brief overview of the route, and we’ll begin the hike—which takes approximately 30 to 40 minutes—to reach the summit.

Upon arrival, we’ll admire the natural rock formations of Pallay Punchu at an elevation of 4,770 meters above sea level, whose colors and shapes resemble traditional Andean textiles. You’ll receive a briefing from the guide and have free time to rest, take photos, and connect with nature.

After our visit, we’ll descend to the starting point of our hike, where our transportation will be waiting to take us back to the town of Cusipata to enjoy a delicious buffet lunch, then return to Cusco. Our transportation will drop you off very close to the Plaza de Armas at approximately 5:00 p.m., bringing to a close an experience filled with unforgettable landscapes and authentic Andean culture.
